The third time, the Tang Dynasty Xuanshi measured the good luck
It is said that after He Chou met with Wuya, Xuannu and others, they learned about each other's behind-the-scenes situation, and finally decided to go to Chang'an first, and first inform Yuan Tiangang, the Xuanshi of the human world, of everything he knew, and then follow the Xuanshi's advice to make another decision.
After walking together, Wuya and Xuannu abandoned their cars and rode horses instead.
The five members of the group were all extraordinary and had excellent physique, and in a hurry, the horses changed again and again, but they seldom rested. Seven days later, He Chou's journey, which had taken more than a month, had quietly disappeared under his feet.
Standing in front of the city, the prosperity of Chang'an is a long-lost world, and for Xuannu, Xiaomin, and Niu Shilang, it is the rolling red dust that has never been seen.
"Enter from this Golden Light Gate, pass through Golden Light Street, Suzaku Street, and you can enter the Imperial City. He Chou pointed to the ** gate in front of him with a horsewhip.
There was darkness in front of him, but with his keen perception, he could easily feel how noisy the city was in front of him.
Xuannu glanced at the two teams of guards on duty in front of the Jinguang Gate, frowned slightly, and said, "This Chang'an City doesn't seem to be very peaceful." ”
"Hmm......" He Chou's face changed slightly, and he nodded in agreement.
When he left Chang'an that day, although there were already rumors of ghosts, Chang'an was still peaceful. Now that the guards are carefully checking the passers-by, it is not difficult to see that the chaos has indeed spread to the royal city.
"Let's go. ”
Worried about the master and sister, why worry about the horse's belly, go first.
"Stop!" the goalkeeper shouted when he saw He Chou riding his horse over. But then, he saw Niu Shilang behind He Chou, and under the great change in his expression, the young general said sharply: "There are monsters, come on, take it!"
Bang la blah
Thirty-six guards were in unison, and in a breath they surrounded them.
brush
Thirty-six long knives were unsheathed at the same time, bringing up a piece of snow and bright sword light.
Seeing this, the pedestrians fled one after another, and only the brave ones hid aside and watched secretly.
"Stop!" Seeing the guards draw their swords, He Chou hurriedly drank and shouted: "I am He Chou, a disciple of Lu Guogong, who went to the underworld to pay homage to the king of Hades by the emperor's order, and now I have returned to report the news." These people are all chivalrous masters, and they can't wait to be presumptuous!"
The leading young general had a few encounters with him, and after taking a closer look, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be He Shaoxia." This master beside you has a strange appearance, and he is a demon who is a troublemaker. It's really offended. ”
"Put the knife down!"
Bang la blah
It was the same sound of the sword in the sheath.
"Make way for all the knights!" added the young general.
When the guards and onlookers heard this, they hurriedly moved out of the way.
"Thank you. He Chou arched his hand and trotted into the Golden Light Gate on his horse.
............
"Brother He, you were so majestic just now!" Niu Shilang said with a smile.
"What kind of majesty is this? "He Chou doesn't care.
If you can master Tiangang like a Xuannu girl, it will be called majestic. He said secretly in his heart.
Except for He Chou, the four of them have never been to Chang'an, and they can't help but be amazed when they see the prosperity and surprise, and even the eyes of the cold Xuannu occasionally show a hint of brilliance.
It took nearly a quarter of an hour for five horses to cross Jinguang Street, cross the West Market Entrance and Yong'an Canal, and finally arrive at the Suzaku Gate.
The general guarding the gate recognized He Chou, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately sent his subordinates into the imperial city in a hurry. And he greeted He Chou and his party.
"He Shaoxia, you're back. During these days, the emperor and Lu Guogong are talking about you every day. ”
“............”
“............”
After some greetings, He Chou knew the situation in Chang'an at this time.
Soon after he left, the news of ghost chaos spread to the vicinity of Chang'an, and even made trouble in Chang'an City several times. Fortunately, there were senior monks of Huasheng Temple, and a disaster was avoided.
With the onset of ghost cholera, the guards of Chang'an City became stricter and stricter, and ordinary people were even restricted from entering and exiting the city gates. However, even so, the spread of panic could not be contained. According to the statistics of various prefectures and counties, so far, thousands of people have died under the fangs of evil spirits, and this number is still increasing by nearly 100 every day! If this continues, I don't know how many of the 70 million people in Datang will die for no reason!
After dismounting, He Chou and the others listened to the information while following the general towards the palace city quickly, and after a while, they arrived in front of the Chengtian Gate.
The guards who summoned the message had already brought the message to the emperor, and with the order of Taizong, He Chou and the others were unimpeded, and when they arrived in front of Chengtian Gate, they went straight to Tonghua Street, passed through Danfeng Gate in the north, and arrived at Hanyuan Palace.
At this time, just after the hour, the court meeting had not yet ended. However, He Chou's disappearance is of great importance, and a number of ministers of civil and military affairs are also willing to let him report first.
As soon as he arrived at the Daming Palace, He Chou heard the summons of the Huangmen squire: "The emperor has a decree to announce that He Chou and others will enter the palace." ”
"He Shaoxia, the last general will retire first. The gatekeeper bowed slightly.
"There's General Law. He Chou responded, and took the lead to climb the Daming Palace under the ninety-nine white marble steps.
The three doors of the Hanyuan Hall were opened, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were lined up on both sides, and Taizong was sitting on the throne of the Meteorite Emperor, looking at He Chou and the others who were walking briskly with anticipation.
From a distance, He Chou saw that the emperor's temples had a lot of snow, as if he had aged more than ten years in just over a month. Even the Master, who is standing at the head of the right, is much older.
"Why worry about the grass people, see the emperor. ”
He knelt down on one knee and saluted the emperor.
In addition to him, there was a bull's head, a foxtail, a blind man with a cat, and one who was floating in the air without touching his feet. The strange appearance made the Manchu civil and military suspicious. However, the emperor doesn't care about these at this time, and the only thing he cares about most is He Chou.
"Don't worry, you can be regarded as back, hurry up. ”
Li Shimin had a bitter smile on his face, but he was still warm and warm.
"How is it? Have you ever met King Yama?" he asked.
"No, I didn't. He Chou confessed.
The Manchu civil and military forces were in an uproar.
Without waiting for them to ask, He Chou said: "Although the grass people have not gone to the underworld, they have met the prince of the Yin Capital. ”
He directed everyone's attention to the empty-eyed Wuya, and introduced: "This is the envoy sent by the underworld, Xiao Wuya, the prince of the Yin Capital. He came to Chang'an to help us deal with evil spirits. ”
"Wuya has seen King Tang. Xiao Wuya bowed humbly.
"No courtesy, no courtesy. ”
As soon as he heard that it was the prince of the underworld, Li Shimin suddenly looked happy, got up and walked down from the throne, and said with a smile: "The prince came to Chang'an in person, presumably the king of Hades has promised to send the soldiers of the underworld to catch the evil ghosts." ”
"This ......"
Wuya shook his head.
Taizong frowned when he saw this.
"How ......"
He Chou sighed and replied for Wuya: "Your Majesty, now that the underworld is in chaos, the impermanent ghosts who can freely travel to and from the world cannot get away for the time being, and they are immaculate to help us catch ghosts." ”
"Chaos in the underworld!"
The Manchu ministers were in an uproar again.
"Here's the thing......"
He Chou sorted out his thoughts and slowly explained what he knew. From Nuwa's sealing of Qiqi, to the birth of Qiqi, to the breaking of the ghost gate, the seven ghost kings fled to the world with Qiqi, he knows everything and speaks endlessly.
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all from ordinary backgrounds, where have they seen any fierce beasts and ghost kings, and when they heard him say it, they all felt extremely ridiculous.
However, now that the world is in turmoil and evil spirits are rampant, even if they refuse to believe it, they have to believe it.
“...... For now, we can only gather our strength to deal with the fierce beast Qiqi and the Seven Great Ghost Kings. As for the ghosts who have brought disaster to the world, they can only ...... first."
After listening to He Chou's words, Taizong's body shook and almost fell.
With the support of his attendants, he sat back on the dragon chair and said abruptly: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill my Tang Dynasty......
"Your Majesty is relieved, it is far from the time of despair, and it is not impossible for us to deal with those ghosts. Shangguan Yi comforted.
"Alas......"
The only thing that responded to him was a long sigh from King Tang.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
But a moment later, a cold and mocking female voice sounded:
"I can't imagine that the dignified king doesn't even have the courage to set up to deal with Qiqi. ”
Xuannu was half a foot off the ground as always, drifted to the front of He Chou, looked directly at Li Shimin, and said, "Since you have no intention of doing anything, let Xuanshi come to discuss with us." ”
"Presumptuous!"
"What a guts!"
"Where did the demon girl dare to talk to the emperor like this!"
There was a loud noise.
All the ministers were furious when they heard her words, and even Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Lu Guo, was very angry.
"Come on, take it for me!" Wei Chi Gong said.
The guards outside the door immediately rushed in when they heard the sound, and surrounded the Xuannu with knives.
"Wait!"
He Chou was taken aback, and hurriedly stood between the guards and the Xuannu.
Others don't know how powerful Xuannu is, but he has seen it with his own eyes. This aunt has a bad temper, if she annoys her, who dares to guarantee that she will not come up with a Tiangang thunder method in Hanyuan Palace!
When the guards saw him coming, they stopped for the time being.
Cheng Yanjin asked unhappily: "Sorrow, where did this woman come from, she is so presumptuous!"
"Master...... ......"
Seeing the angry eyes of the master and the purple light in the eyes of the Xuannu, He Chou only felt that his head was big, and after a long time, he explained: "Your Majesty, Master, the Xuannu girl is the junior sister of the Kunlun Immortal Realm Palm Sect, and her cultivation is very good. We had fought a horde of demons on the way, and it was thanks to her help that we were able to survive. This time I came to Chang'an, and the Xuannu girl was the messenger representing the Kunlun Wonderland, and at the same time, the news of Qiqi's birth that we knew was also brought from her Kunlun. The Xuannu girl has a more straightforward temper, but everything is for the sake of the world, and she has no intention of offending the emperor. I also hope that the emperor, master, and all the adults will not be surprised. ”
After listening to his words, the ministers discussed again, and a few nodded, but most of them were dissatisfied.
"Okay, let's be quiet. Li Shimin raised his arm.
"Silence~" The attendant screamed.
The noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
Taizong looked at He Chou, then at the Xuannu who was floating, and sighed: "What the Xuannu girl said is right, I am indeed cowardly. ”
"The Emperor's ......"
"I'm old, and I'm really powerless to deal with that demon and monster. In this way, the matter of dealing with the fierce beast and the ghost king will be left to the knights. I will let Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two Xuan Masters, cooperate with you. If you need other manpower, you can tell Ah Chou directly and let him dispatch it on his behalf. ”
"Retreat. Taizong waved his hand exhaustedly.
"Retreat~"
The shrill voice of the attendant resounded through the hall again.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
There was a mountain shout, and the civil and military ministers all saluted and saw Emperor Taizong leave.
